No arguments from me.
BTW, my mother, God rest her soul, certainly seemed OMNISCIENT to me. My father, God rest his soul, was almost as OMNISCIENT as my mother, especially after my mom told my dad what I did.
Good deal on the prior.
Whether you perceive something to be omniscient, and whether it is actually omniscient, are two completely separate things.
One is an observation based on a limited set of knowledge.
The other being it's actual state of being.
A humble person, would not walk around saying, "My deity is omniscient.", especially with such a limited scope of knowledge, and not being able to present proof of a deity in the first place.
A lot of theists yield to this point, so you certainly wouldn't be alone in this regard. In fact, in light of the available information, and the lacking proof of a deity, I think it's the sign of a humble theists to yield on this particular point.
These I find more conversationally friendly/interesting, because,
usually, they have considered their positions, and thought about their claims. This means they are more
robust/learned when it comes to the nuances of such claims, philosophically speaking.
Subsets of religion (denominations) are as diverse as any other group, but there is no shortage of uninformed individuals parroting to others that their deity is omniscient, as a matter of factual claim. This is to add qualities and characteristics that the recipient is supposed to yield to. Everything from Westboro funda
mentalists, to more liberal Episcopalians seem to differ on these claims.
By the way, such adverbs, reducing the state, only serve to prove my point.
Go ahead and continue with the mockery, by the way. It doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I cannot help but wonder if the difference between your childlike perception that your parents were omnipotent/omniscient, and your adult understanding, is that you grew up.
Have an awesome day fellas!
